Okay but what if on the first Malec date they have a grand old time and it’s perfect and Alec has managed to make Magus laugh multiple times and they’re holding hands across the table and it’s great and they’re walking back together and finally make it back to the Institute and they’re just standing there and Alec is like “So.” and Magnus is just staring at Alec fondly and says. “So.” right back and they just look at each other for a few moments with their hands intertwined not saying anything and then Alec laughs a little and rubs the back of his neck with his other hand and says. “I don’t want to leave.”
And Magnus just about swoons because it’s the cutest thing he has ever heard and he’s already in so deep with this gorgeous Shadowhunter and he finally manages to gain his composure and responds back sweetly. “Neither do I.” and Alec smiles at this and he’s running his thumb over the back of Magnus’ hand and not meeting Magnus’ eyes and he looks like he wants to say something but doesn’t but then he finally stammers quietly. “Can I kiss you?” and Magnus beams at him and his heart swells with adoration and can’t help thinking how has this wonderful person never been in a relationship before and says. “Of course, Alexander.” and then Alec slowly takes Magnus’ face gently into his hands but he doesn’t kiss him yet he just caresses Magnus’ face with his hands and strokes his cheekbones and is looking at him with such awe and wonder and is analyzing his whole face as if this was going to be the last time he would ever see it and Magnus can feel the butterflies erupting in his stomach and almost dies as Alec’s eyes move from his own to his nose, his cheeks, and finally his lips and Alec smiles the smallest of smiles and leans in, giving Magnus the most careful and tender kiss
And Magnus’ hands grasp onto Alec’s elbows and the kiss is so different from their first one this one is more thought out and precise and caring and chaste and it’s just perfect and Magnus wants to sing because of how happy he is at this precise moment and he can smell Alec’s aftershave and hint of cologne that Isabelle probably forced him to wear for the occasion and Alec’s lips are so soft and warm and he tastes of determination and and excitement and that chocolate cake that they shared earlier at the restaurant and Magnus almost dies at the sensation of Alec’s long eyelashes fluttering against his cheekbone and they finally both pull away and both men are grinning from ear to ear and Magnus feels a laugh bubbling up in his chest and he ducks his head to hide his blush. “You never cease to amaze me, Alec.” He smiles up at the other man and Alec just about loses his breath at the sight of Magnus with his dopey grin and shining eyes and slightly tousled hair and he can’t help thinking that he’s never seen anyone more beautiful in his entire life and how he made him look like that and suddenly Alec has forgotten everything horrible in his life all because of Magnus Bane and he finally manages to stutter a “Thanks for tonight. We…we should do that again sometime.”
And Magnus has to tell himself over and over that it would not be appropriate on a first date to full on sprint at Alec and hug the life out of him and and it took all of his willpower not to scream YES YES YES and to instead respond with a “I would love that.” and Alec is smiling as if his life depends on it and says. “Great.” and suddenly feels daring and leans in for a quick peck that takes Magnus completely by surprise and mutters a “Goodnight, Magnus.” while blushing furiously and Magnus’ hand goes to his lips and calls out a “Goodnight, Alexander.” as Alec makes his way to the Institute door, his eyes never leaving Magnus and Magnus does his best not to laugh out loud when Alec smacks his head against the door frame and almost trips over his own feet and looks back at Magnus with a sheepish look on his face and states “That’s a door.” and Magnus nods but cannot stop the titter that escapes from him and waves at Alec cheerfully and Alec, clearly relieved that Magnus does not think he is a complete fool, waves cheerfully back and walks into the Institute, but not before giving Magnus a loving and longing look before closing the door.
And if anyone later that night saw a glittery man pirouetting in the old churchyard while giggling like a gleeful child, they probably were extremely confused.
whatever happens, never think about malec cuddling and even though alec is taller and bigger he’s still the little spoon and magnus is holding him so tightly because he’s afraid that alec would leave him, and magnus is whispering all the beautiful things he loves about alec into his ear and alec blushing. don’t think about that under any circumstances.
Whoooo, I know for a fact that there are fans everywhere trying to recover from that kiss. It was lovely, and passionate, and worthy of a loud, enthusiastic Hell Yeah! But I’m going to pick it apart to show you what it all means, because there is literally so much going on here.
Example A: Alec strides right up to Magnus and pulls him in by the lapels of his jacket without any sort of hesitancy. He made his choice on the altar, having literally lost his breath at the sight of Magnus walking into the room, and with his mind made up, he goes in and goes for it. He steps right up into Magnus’ personal space and pulls him into his own body, wanting him close and accessible, and he holds him there against him for the duration of the kiss. Magnus also receives him immediately, following Alec’s lead.
Example B: Here they are switching lips, exploring the shape of each other’s mouths. Alec’s mouth moves a fraction faster, which tells us that he’s leading and Magnus is matching him kiss for kiss, and there is barely a breath of air between them. Their noses are nuzzling each other’s cheeks, and they are connected from forehead to lips to chin with each kiss. This amount of closeness, especially regarding the touching of foreheads, shows a great deal of intimacy. Foreheads touching is also intensely spiritual in certain cultures as it means a meeting of the souls, and it also holds the placement of the third eye, which is a mystical concept regarding perception, inner vision and enlightenment. Connected like this, Magnus and Alec see each other on another level.
Example C: Magnus follow’s Alec’s lips as he pulls back briefly to look into his eyes, not ready to let go. But this is Alec’s first kiss, and he’s the one making the big statement right now, so Magnus patiently retreats until Alec is ready again. It’s also here that they discover their dynamic - Alec is controlling this kiss in every way, and Magnus is more than willing to stand there and let him do as he pleases. Alec may be just starting to let his emotions through, but Magnus knows what it is to desire someone and it’s clear here that he wants Alec.
Example D: Magnus’ face softens and he receives Alec again with the beginnings of a smile. This time their kiss is angled, deeper, their foreheads no longer touching, but they are still completely connected from nose to chin, resting against each other’s faces and breathing the other in deep like they’re trying to get closer still. Again, it’s very intimate and passionate. Where they started off by connecting to each other and communicating their unspoken feelings in that moment, here they are exploring the new feelings they are getting from the kiss itself. It’s fun. The practise round is done and dusted, and they’re going in for more. They’re also now completely in sync.
This wasn’t just a fabulous first kiss for Alec and Magnus. It was a perfect first kiss that incorporated both character’s individual energies. Matt and Harry are very, very good at what they do.
you lose your breath every time they enter a room. your heart beats faster when they walk by. your skin tingles when you stand close enough to feel their breath.
